Thabeet has decided to stay put and try to make a run at a national championship next year. Saying, “As a team, we took a step in the right direction this year, but I look forward to us working together to win a Big East Championship and making a run at a national championship. I really enjoy being here, getting a great education and spending time with my friends and teammates.”This puts UConn in a commanding position with post presence with Thabeet and the new acquisition of Okwandu. It is going to be interesting to see how Gavin and Mandeldove’s minutes play out next year. UConn has a great shot of being the best shot blocking team in the college basketball again. With another off season of post camps, he should be more comfortable with his back to the basket. Also a hook shot would be a top priority to add to his fledgling offensive arsenal. In this era of players leaving early, it is a great sight to see someone stick around and work on his craft.
